Those are the Results Posted on the Willi Site.

I Did not see the game but telling from these results Williamstown are in some trouble.

What comes from these results here is That:

Luke Shackleton has played another good game for the Gulls. This is like his Fifth in a row being in the best and if we lose today i think he will come in. I'am making a big push for him to come in to the side because i have always liked the way he plays. You can say whatever you want about his build. He is not fat his body's just like that. I honestly beleive in two years he will have a consilidated position in the team.

And another thing that i pointed out a while ago is that Luke Jarrad has played another good game, and from his season so far woould have to be picked up by someone at the end of the year. Hopefully us.

Dane Swan named in the Best also.. I'am happy Now!

Anyway, your thoughts?

I went up and watched the game, but from an Essendon viewpoint. One player I was looking forward to seeing was Billy Morrison, but - no appearance. I couldn't see his name on your injury list. Any ideas?

Bendigo was pretty dominant in the first half, and after missing 4 easy chances early in the 3rd, Willy dominated the next 45-50 minutes before Bullen settled it for Bendigo and they (we) kicked a few late ones. Willy were 2 goals down at about the 20min mark of the last. King was beaten early but came right into it, both Shaws showed some good signs - Brayden more so IMO - he just LOOKS like a player. Mullins (No 30?) looks a skilful player - a bit lighter than your other midfielders. I didn't really notice Shackleton I'm afraid, but that doesn't mean he didn't play well. Swan did a bit. Guys like Cranage and Lloyd were Willy's most prominent. McKee was OK but Bendigo were down to one 18yo ruckman after Laycock went off in the 2nd....so he should have done OK.

Conditions were reasonably bad, but you wouldn't have believed you were watching Aussie Rules after watching Brisbane the night before. Skill errors prevailed.
